OK. All I've ever read is that it is "the convention" to include the exogenous predictors in step 1. I haven't looked far into the econometrics however. It makes no substantive theoretical sense forsome of my step 2 predictors to be in step 1; that was my motivation...
There is no 'step 1' or first-stage regression involved with 2SLS. It is a single formula in the Xs and Zs. See Baum, Schaffer, Stillman, Stata Journal 2003 (cited in ivreg2 help) for a discussion of this point.
